Notes: My Grand-mom learned to cook living in an orphanage that had a farm. She really learned the basics of cooking from the Lutheran Sisters who ran the orphanage. One of the Sisters always told her that the key to success in a kitchen was organization. She would say you have to run a kitchen the “Russian” way. Which meant highly disciplined and strictly following orders. After leaving the orphanage my Grand-mom tried to leave many of the awful memories of childhood in an orphanage behind her, but her love of cooking has always remained an important part of her life. The further the years took her from the orphanage the more sophisticated her cooking became. She was a “foodie” long before all the current interest in fine foods began. However, with all the recipes she has tried one tried-and-true chocolate chip cookie recipe reigns supreme. Ironically, Grand-mom is pretty sure it came off the back of a Tollhouse chocolate morsel bag and not out of a fancy cookbook. Grand-mom says that the two keys to the cookies are the oatmeal and the refrigeration of the dough. Both help to keep the cookies nice and tall and assure that they do not flatten out during baking. So if you want the best chocolate chip cookies ever, get your kitchen organized and follow my Grand-mom’s recipe!
